Only use jellyfin. Have a list of things want to update... but it works for now.
Yes that is a laptop usb cooler used as supplemental placebo cooling. Also a pc fan I have propped up against the hard drive feeding into the pi.
Can't recall last time used the ps4 or switch. But they're there
Why not? They look cool, if not a little pricey.
They don't represent a good value for me. I want something cheaper that has room for expansion.
i dislike the relative lack of repairability and expandability too.
processing power is more than adequate, and it comes in a tiny practical box, this is my priority atm.
What other products would you recommend for a router?
Any off the shelf device that's not Broadcom.
Flash OpenWRT and be done
not the same class of device though
No but you don't need a lot of horse power for just gigabit
you do if you want more than just a router
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Separate out your stuff so that one failure doesn't cause the end of the world.
having another one of these in a cluster is not off the table, but for now size is a priority. its all backed up with another router to take over if needed.
